“The controversial film that the Chinese government does not want you to see!"
|
|
Fifty years have passed since the takeover of Tibet by China. The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and temporal leader, has lived in exile for most of his life, trying to find a peaceful solution. For more than 20 years, he has pursued his Middle Way Approach: giving up the goal of Tibet’s independence in return for genuine autonomy. China has consistently rejected his proposals. Now more and more young Tibetans, ready for a more confrontational course, are questioning his strategy. Can the Dalai Lama’s path of peace and compromise find a solution for Tibet? Or will the voices calling for independence prevail? The filmmakers followed the Dalai Lama over the course of an eventful year, which included the 2008 protests in Tibet, the long march in India, the Beijing Olympics, and the breakdown of talks with the Chinese government.
Filmmakers Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam will be in attendance at the April 16, 17, and 18 screenings to participate in conversation and Q&A with the audience.
